"Compassion for Yourself"

Rev. Dr. Arvid Straube, Lead Minister Arvid references to Karen Armstrong's "12 Steps to a Compassionate Life" to reflect upon self-love and self-worth and how low self esteem is, essentially, self-hatred and that self-hatred is self-centered. He encourages the congregation to appreciate who they are so they can obtain self-knowledge.
